chapter two hundred and seventy five.
Before coming, Wang Houzhen thought of the country of Xiema Tai quite lowly. In his opinion, the country of Xiema Tai was just a large surround, with some dilapidated straw houses inside, which were palaces, but reality slapped him again.
Xiema Taicheng is completely different from the famous castle in the Warring States Period in Japan. It is quite similar to Wang Hou who has seen Pengcheng left behind in the Warring States Period. Xia Pi City is quite similar. The earth-yellow rammed earth wall is slightly shorter, with only one county town about three or four meters high. The tower built with wood is more than six meters. In the distance, the platform built with rammed earth is located in the north, almost level with the city wall. Although the exotic palace is definitely not as tall as the Xudu Palace, it is at least as big as the palace of the Han Pig and Monkey King.
Moreover, the inheritance between Wu and Yue seems to be obvious here. In the south, two bronze flying tigers were squatting there with great momentum.
Seeing that Wang Hou seemed to be a little shocked by his country, the evil minister named Lian was also gloomy and full of smiles. The guy grinned and pulled himself out of the box sedan chair. He was sore and straightened his waist while holding his fists and showing off to Wang Hou.
"There is thousands of miles of the world, and the sea is around. No more magnificent city. The general of the Shang Kingdom came for the first time and felt shocked!"
Tian Cheng was unwilling to listen to this. Apart from the pile of rammed earth platforms, the capital of Xiematai is not as big as that of the Lixia City where the Tian family lives! It was full of disdain, and the old guy was about to refute it. Who knew that before he could speak, Wang Hou had already nodded and responded.
"I was indeed shocked!"
However, before the Lian family was proud, Wang Hou added another sentence that almost made the Japanese minister vomit blood.
"Before I came, I thought you were living in a cave or a tree, but I never thought that your capital would catch up with my Han County! Your country's civilization level is far beyond my imagination, which is really amazing!"
This time, my belly was almost overjoyed, and Tian Cheng also took a break and said with great joy.
"There is a small county on the border!"
The corners of his mouth were so angry that he twitched, but when this Japanese devil faced the strong, he was so strong that he could tolerate his demeanor. He was so angry that he trembled and forced himself to squeeze out an ugly smile.
"The richness of the Heavenly Kingdom is not as good as the Eastern Kingdom!"
It is estimated that sitting in the cage sedan was not as comfortable as the aisle. After getting off, Lian did not go up again and led the way to the edge of the city with a servant alongside Wang Houma.
It has to be said that not only the architectural images, but also the cultural class is particularly similar to those in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, the hierarchy is very strict. Seeing Wang Hou and his party riding horses and Lian's group of robes, the city guards at the gate immediately knelt on the ground with their spears and knees on their knees. The civilians in the lower houses who came and went to the middle and short clothes simply made way and stood under the road and bowed long until the group left. Then they carefully climbed onto the road and continued walking.
There is no such thing as the Han Dynasty market in the city, and it is only at the political and religious level. The business of Xiematai is still extremely primitive and is only in the hands of some nobles and nobles. In the city, either the nobles or the clergy are either. Characters such as wizards and witches are in a hurry, with a rigid face and solemn and solemn. People like the idle man who plays poker and shops around in Rizhao City are completely extinct.
The standard for entertaining Wang Hou was also high enough. He rushed straight to the street in the middle, which no one dared to walk, and arrived directly at the palace on the high platform. However, when he arrived here, Wang Hou finally turned over and got off the horse. It was not that he respected the Evil Palace. It was because the Japanese people piled up the rammed earth platform too high, high and steep, and it was too difficult for the horse to climb up!
Here, the Japanese nobles and nobles who were "circled" in the cage also came out of the box sedan chair. They squatted with sore backs and grinned their teeth and beat the backs, which was enough to suffer.
However, it is worth mentioning here. Although the Japanese were short enough when I passed by that village, these Japanese nobles were definitely not short. The average height was more than 1.6 meters and less than 1.7 meters. Some generals and other figures could reach more than 1.8 meters, which was considered a great man of Ang Zang.
Japan is still better now. It is better to eat chicken and chicken, and meat and meat! Aristocrats with sufficient nutrition can at least maintain their height. However, when Prince Holy Tokug-dagashi reformed the Nara era, Buddhism was introduced to Japan from the Tang Dynasty, and the ruling class gradually advocated vegetarianism and prohibited meat eating. Over the past thousand years, the Japanese have become shorter and shorter.
Fortunately, Wang Hou finally had a good meal in the court of Xiematai.
The staple food is rice. Although the rice is not as famous as Japanese rice in later generations, it is also soft in the mouth. A dish of roasted saury, a dish of stewed venison, mushroom soup, salted radish, and even to entertain Wang Hou, he specially killed a calf. Wang Hou ate the fresh beef and almost swallowed his tongue. The appearance of the wolf-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-double-dou
In ancient times, there were similarities in business negotiations. When the table was full of wine and food, it was time to talk about serious matters! After eating all the soup pot, Wang Hou was muttering his bulging belly, Lian Shi finally brought the official man up.
A middle-aged strong man with a big belly and a big beard like the Han people, who was about forty years old, wearing the common uniforms and long crowns of Japanese officials, swaggered and walked to the main position with a swagger.
Before Wang Hou could speak, Tian Cheng's face looked quite ugly, and he suddenly stood up in a low voice.
"Also, my general came from Qingzhou and had a noble status. Why didn't the heroine of your country come to greet him in person? What's the intention of sending this person?"
He was talking and explaining to Wang Hou. Then the old guy yelled in ancient Japanese language that Wang Hou couldn't understand. The Chinese people are really high these days, and they were blushed by him. However, the fat man didn't reach out to pull him down and chop him down. But he explained that the two of them talked about like a chicken and duck for a long time. Only then did Tian Cheng turn his head and fist at Wang Hou without losing his anger.
"Prince! The heroine of the Ema Taiwan, Himema Taiwan, and the God of Amaterasu, have been in the palace and have not seen guests for three years! This person is the heroine's brother. He is responsible for commanding all officials! Checking the hundreds of countries and letting us have business to negotiate with him!"
"The envoys of the Great Han Dynasty sent to the Xiongnu Western Regions to all the countries that had to be received by the Lord Shanyu in person! The Evil Ma Tai Kingdom is really negligent!"
He really has a lot of self-esteem, but Tian Cheng is there to stand up for the wrongdoing, but Wang Hou doesn't care. He came to Japan to poach and make a fortune. Who is he talking to?
Seeing that Wang Hou was not concerned and was responsible for entertaining distinguished guests, Lian, who was a small country of transportation, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But immediately, he leaned forward more earnestly, stared at Wang Hou eagerly, and asked in stuttering Chinese.
"The general went to our country in the name of the Emperor of Han, but I wonder if there is an order?"
